Lord of Arcane

Chapter 2064 Decline to oppose a lot
Xia Duo believes that what Horn said is very likely to be realized, let alone swearing in the name of glory. In fact, the controller of the Seven Towers has great decision-making power over the next successor.

Not to mention the history, it is basically recommended by the previous one, and the next one will naturally take over. The only one who has some twists and turns may be Schom from Giles Tower.

He wasn't even a Grand Arcanist before he took over, but even so, after Byron appeared, the Seven Towers put Schom on the throne.

Of course, Xia Duo is also responsible for this, but no one thought that Schom would turn his face and deny anyone. After taking office, he immediately began to suppress the followers left by the princess, as well as Niya, a student. Of course, this is a digression .

At present, Horn's promise, Xia Duo is sure that it can be realized in all likelihood, after all, it is not without precedent for the great arcanist to leave the Seven Towers.

But it was because the other party was so sincere and very likely to fulfill the promise that Xia Duo felt the pressure even more. If he just said it casually, everyone would forget about it afterwards, and nothing happened.

But the other party even made such a promise. If it spreads out, it will probably cause chaos inside the Kiran Tower, which means that the cost of Xia Duo's rejection will be very high.

However, Xia Duo never thought about joining the Zilan Tower from the very beginning, and it was even more impossible to promise the other party anything. Now the sincerity of the other party made him feel awkward.

After deliberating for a while, he slowly said: "Your Excellency Horn, I have great admiration for the Kilan Tower, but you should be able to see that I am more inclined to the pure arcane path, and the bloodline is more important to me. Just an extra.

"Compared to Kiran Tower, I prefer the environment of Morain Tower. I can only say sorry for your wrong love."

Xia Duo said that he likes the Morain Tower is not a lie made up to perfuse Horn, but the Morain Tower is indeed a rare circle of spellcasters with a strong academic atmosphere and a non-aggressive atmosphere in the Seven Towers.

If he crossed over in the Morain Tower, maybe he would choose to stay in the Seventh Tower to carry out internal innovations, or to follow the Romans and become a real Nether mage.

But that's all if, if there must be someone's fault, it's all Shi Chen's fault!
After saying the words of refusal, Xia Duo saw Horn's face froze, forced a smile, and kept the last trace of decency, "Lord Xia Duo's ambition is not in the blood field, but you and I can still cooperate more! Lord Xia Duo still has something to do, so I won't delay."

Really came and went in a hurry, Xia Duo knew that he probably offended Horn this time, but adults are more interested in interests, as long as he doesn't know how to oppose the Seven Towers, he can probably maintain the current cooperative relationship and be a pure "Friends of Interest".

……

After leaving the Kiran Tower, Xia Duo glanced at the gloomy sky, but what he heard was the cheers of the crowd in the distance from the Offa Square.

Comparing the two, Xia Duo had an inexplicable bad feeling. He already knew that his bloodline was quite miraculous since the awakening of his bloodline. Now this inexplicable feeling that cannot be traced back to its origin, he is more inclined to be a reminder of the bloodline.

And just when he was about to return to the Austrian Law Federation and wait for the final ceremony entrance time, an unexpected person contacted him and even invited him to meet.

The meeting place was chosen well, it was at the Austrian Law Federation, since it was on the way, Xia Duo didn't hesitate, and immediately decided to accept the invitation.

……

Arriving at the place, Xia Duo found that besides the inviter Cliff, Magna was also present, and the two "paired" not once or twice. It seems that the relationship between the two is very high, it should not be rumor.

"Master Cliff, long time no see!"

"Lord Xia Duo, long time no see!"

"Lord Xia Duo, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Cliff asked Xia Duo what he thought of the Ascension Ceremony. Xia Duo didn't react at first, thinking that the other party was disgusted with this kind of mortal ascension because he was also a priest.

But then he realized that if that was the case, he would have publicly opposed it long ago, not to mention that Magna was also present, and it should have nothing to do with Cliff's priesthood.

"At present, there is no clear statement about the abnormal climate in the Seven Towers. If Master Yerevan succeeds in ascension to the gods, it may give a chance to the people in the North who are suffering from abnormal climate."

This is a relatively official statement. No matter how dissatisfied people are with Ascension God, at least they will not oppose the general public on the surface. In fact, this is a panacea answer.

Cliff certainly didn't want such an answer, but before he could speak, Magna couldn't wait, and just like his reputation outside - said rudely and directly:

"Lord Xiaduo, what Cliff wants to ask is whether you think this ascension ceremony will be successful!"

"is it?"

Xia Duo glanced at Cliff, whose face was a little dark, and then said with a smile: "I didn't participate in the matter of ascension to the gods, so I don't know if it will be successful, but I hope it can be successful."

In fact, he likes Magna's direct attitude very much. Although it seems reckless, if they all behave like this, it can often make people distinguish the enemy from the enemy in the first place.

Of course, if you can clarify your own attitude and at the same time give people a feeling of spring breeze, that is the high level of diplomatic work.

Xia Duo does not expect that in the current era where individual strength may still be respected as king, someone will seriously study diplomatic discourse. As long as he can clarify his own attitude and position, no matter friend or foe, for him, it is a goal of exclusion.

Those who are ambiguous about their own attitudes and positions are the ones who need the most vigilance and are the first to be eliminated.

Of course, answering Cliff's question now is not at the level of "statement", but Xia Duo always has his own principle, that is, if you can't lie, don't lie.

He really couldn't judge whether the Ascension Ceremony would be successful, and he said that he hoped it would be successful was not just a show.

There was a flash of surprise in Cliff's eyes after hearing this, but Magna was straightforward, "If Master Yerevan succeeds in ascension, will all future ascension ceremonies be subject to the arrangements of the Seven Towers?"

This is where the statement comes in.

Xia Duo thought for a while, if he didn't dare to express his opinion on this, maybe the Seven Towers would get in the way, and someone had to stand up and object, why couldn't it be him?
Not to mention that this matter is not a good thing in the first place. If the order or order of ascension to the gods is completely arranged, how can future people improve?
Even those who are the first to ascend to the gods, will they ban related technologies and even all magical knowledge in order to prevent future generations from challenging them?
This is all foreseeable, Xia Duo knew very early on not to overestimate human nature, even the existence of an ascended god!

Therefore, Xia Duo decisively expressed his attitude, "Master Yerevan is Master Yerevan, I respect him, and I support him this time for the Ascension Ceremony, but this has nothing to do with the Seven Towers, and I firmly oppose the order of Ascension, I think this is very likely to destroy our magical civilization!"

"Well said!" Magna unabashedly expressed his support for Xia Duo's words, and of course indirectly expressed his attitude.

As for Cliff, he spit out another truth:
"Actually, shortly after Her Royal Highness successfully ascended to the gods, I went to the outer plane to meet him, but he gave me a completely different feeling from my lord, how should I put it?

"If our lord is a true god with divinity, then Her Royal Highness is a special existence who has not lost her mortal nature but gained the power of a god.

"Or to put it another way, mortals ascending to the gods will inevitably interfere with mortal affairs, which is not a good thing!"

The meaning of "mortal affairs are resolved by ordinary people" inside and outside the words does not seem to come from a glorious priest at all, but Xia Duo can understand.

In Netheril, although the belief in the Lord of Radiance is widespread, it is largely more like a background board.

Similar to the God in Xia Duo's hometown, many people talk about it every day, and they don't necessarily believe in it. Although there are firm believers, once this background-type belief suddenly descends on the mortal world, it will not be a good thing.

Many people believe in God not because God is powerful, but because God cannot interfere with them, and they just find psychological support for their behavior.

In Netheril, the Lord of Radiance is a truly great existence, but if he frequently interferes in the mortal world, is such an existence still considered great?
Perhaps this is another kind of broken three views!
In short, what Cliff means is "mortal affairs are resolved by mortals themselves." As for the impact of the Ascension Order on magical civilization, he doesn't seem to care.

After all, he is a priest, he has no magic, but also divine arts. When the time comes, everyone will believe in the Lord of Radiance, and maybe there will be less disputes!
